Among the Bricks p2

She was the last one standing

Among the bricks

But the devil appeared

And he charred her skin

Squeezing her pulsing heart

Running with it

And sharing it

With another

The bricks fell

One by one

She sat in the pew

Alone with no one

The candles they burned

Her soul felt weak

The church

It blurred

And she could not breathe

Lost and broken

She ran out the door

Tears in her car

She said never more

So she picked herself up

and walked a different way

Into a new church

And there she'd stay

It was the feast of St Blaze

Ironic enough

He saw her and cradled her

She felt like she was finally

Enough

His eyes they loved her

From afar

And on the altar he danced

He laughed

And she grew 

One day in June

He would leave too

Though she withered and wandered

Crying through Lent

Her soul was made free

In pure love that God sent

She'd love him forever

And he'd never know

He was a Priest she would never let go

Among the bricks their love lay

For God

For another

Everything ripples

In life and in love

When your heart is broken

It is only the start

Just listen for him
